Robert Raben and David Grimaldi.

Few fields are changing as fast as intellectual property.  Navigating that shifting landscape is a core intellectual focus of The Raben Group.

The firm’s full-service legal, policy and lobbying work is anchored by Robert Raben’s experience as Counsel to the Judiciary Committee’s Intellectual Property Subcommittee and his commitment to IP policy at the Department of Justice.  Our attorneys understand and respect intellectual property – its precise law, policy, politics and trends.  Our deep experience allows us to work comprehensively, under privilege if necessary, to help you determine and drive your policy goals.

We have provided counsel to content owners, creators, consumers, networks, third-party carriers, trade associations and individual companies, helping them articulate their objectives and develop the strategy, tactics and communications to meet those needs.
